Notice there is a new bill that will get voted in October. Here the direct link to the pdf draft. I didn’t went though it, but here the introduction of the bill that feel like will make future applications smoother:
The impact of Taiwan’s low birth rate and population aging is growing increasingly evident. The country’s working age population began to fall after reaching its peak in 2015. The total population is projected to start exhibiting negative growth in 2025, with the working age popul…

"the Cabinet would ensure new regulations do not affect the salaries of Taiwanese.”

Oh don’t worry, white collar foreigners won’t be beating down the doors to come here and take away all the locals jobs. Even the locals don’t want them, they are all bringing their skills elsewhere where they get paid and recognized for a job well done .

Those of us that would love to stay here and be professionals in our field find it next to impossible.

Reading through some of the submissions.
First guys complains on and on that foreigners are just going to come here and leach off nhi. You mean like the old people who go every day to get their moneys worth? He ends by asking if then government has any brains in making this plan up and to use their brains… what a nice guy.

Another Jackoff suggests that the government should avoid allowing non nationality people citizenship.

Another says the population needs to go down. Read into that, he basically says we don’t need foreigners.

Yet another points out there are a lot of overseas Chinese that want to come in and should get priority over foreigners.
Who was that they said the locals are all so friendly and white foreigners don’t face discrimination.?

The nastiest comment is from someone who asks why bad foreigners are coming here, and blames them for drug abuse, AIDS, beating local elderly, absenteeism, leaching off NHI
I’ll post the text in Chinese so people can see how we are really viewed.

Reading on there were a few nice submissions from people supporting foreigners but they seem to be outweighed by the racists… I really appreciate those people that showed support.
What bugs me is not knowing which of the people smiling at me in daily life really.means it.

One thing they are right: there is indeed a number of people leeching off the NHI, using it in spite of not living in Taiwan nor having contributed/contributing to the syystem. Surprise, surprise, they are those Overseas compatriots who have both ROC and foreign passports. It is actually impossible for a foreigner to suck off the NHI, can’t even abscond with the bill.

Anyone knows where to find the exact contents of the draft bill? Is it going to have a change for APRC holders who got APRC though marriage ARC minimum in country days count (not requiring the 183 days/year anymore)?
